Your Professional Immersion A Practical Approach that Immerses Students into the Professional World Synergies and interaction with the business world have always been one of IUM’s strengths. In all the master programs, networking activities with both top executives and recruiters are regularly proposed, through various forms.
The academic expertise of the permanent professors is complemented by the strong practitioner expertise of IUM adjunct faculty and guest lecturers, all actively engaged professionals who bring into the classroom their real world experience and the industry state-of-the-art standards and practices. Students thus go beyond the theoretical framework and apply it to concrete contextual situations. They also gain an appreciation of real world company expectations, further developed through internships, applied projects and business competitions. This balanced exposure to theory and practice is one of the central pillars of the educational philosophy that underpins IUM programs.
Corporate Projects Every year our small yet highly selective cohort of Master students augment their theoretical knowledge by applying what they have learned in the classroom to real business situations.
MSc Organizations from any industry or of any size –from global corporations to start-ups, as well as charities and NGOs—are invited to participate in this program. The shared and underlying factor is that the organization has a real and tangible business challenge which the project members—through thorough research and analysis-- will address by providing practical and implementable recommendations.

Program Description The curriculum consists of a first set of fundamental courses in international management such as international economics, management and leadership, international marketing, accounting, human factors in organizations, followed by electives linked to global affairs or to international trade, and a capstone applied project that can take the form of an extended internship or a research thesis. The Master of Science in International Management offers an interdisciplinary approach which ensures a thorough preparation of graduates to international management techniques, across a broad range of disciplines. The curriculum deals with corporate issues while offering, at the same time, an in-depth knowledge of global issues through courses on corporate social responsibility, global policy and sustainability, geopolitics, and the European political economy. The objective is to enable future managers to access new markets which are growing very fast, while dealing with complex issues, in very diverse multicultural environments.

A unique Learning & Networking Experience
The global multibillion dollar sports industry has experienced formidable and sustained growth since the 1990s. This phenomenon is due in part to various factors including societal changes (people’s aspirations for a better and healthier lifestyle), the emergence of a culture based on the admiration of modern-day athletic heroes, and the growing importance of sports marketing and TV rights for corporations. The multiplication of international and national events including Olympic Games, World Championships and alike generates enormous public attention but also millions of dollars in revenues each year. Opportunities are virtually limitless in the sports industry, however, risks and abuses also exist, such as those brought by doping, excessive gambling, and sport clubs’ disproportionate use of financial debt. IUM’s Master in Sport Business Management prepares participants for a variety of positions in the industry. The program equips students with solid skills and competencies but also with the ethical values to become responsible business leaders.
In partnership with Peace&Sport and the University for Peace in Costa Rica, IUM offers also a Master in Sustainable Peace through Sport. Please ask the brochure for further information. masters.monaco.edu

Operations Manager, Be Fit, Monaco Lacey TU, Class of 2013 My experience at the International University of Monaco has helped me shape my professional career and broaden my knowledge of the business world. As a former athlete and registered nurse in the United States, I struggled to find my way when I moved to Monaco 2 years ago. My Bachelor’s degree wouldn’t transfer over, so I needed to find a new career path. After a year of learning the French language and exploring my options, I began to work for a company called Be Fit Monaco. Be Fit Monaco is a private training facility that focuses on holistic, lifestyle management through individualized nutrition and exercise programs. I fit in perfectly with the team and felt it was a dream come true, but needed to further my education to move up the professional ladder. IUM helped me develop my business skills on all levels, including accounting, marketing, leadership, project management and consumer behavior among other things. The practical knowledge and skills taught to me at IUM serve me on a daily basis. I am able to manage the company financials, planning, marketing strategies and development. I have now moved up the career ladder and am capable of managing the company, while also working on projects for expansion. The professors and staff at IUM are friendly and accommodating, making the learning experience positive and worthwhile. I recommend IUM to anyone looking for a well rounded educational program that they can apply to their careers and daily lives.
